German Chocolate Chip Cookies

October 2, 2011

German Chocolate Chip Cookies ~ all the flavors of traditional German chocolate cake in delicious chocolate chip cookie form.

I found this recipe for German Chocolate Chip Cookies out in blog-land, and couldn't resist giving it a try. I love German Chocolate Cake, and a cookie that combines it's classic chocolate, pecan, and coconut flavors?? I couldn't pass it by.

I've had German Chocolate Cake on my to-be-made list for quite some time, but haven't seemed to get to it yet. My mother-in-law makes a fabulous, from-scratch German Chocolate Cake. Somehow, cakes always seem so daunting to me. But cookies? Cookies are easy! So much easier than cake. So these German Chocolate Chip Cookies leap-frogged the cake in my recipe queue.

The creator of this delicious German Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe is Lesley of Lesley's Eats. Thank you, Lesley! Hop on over to Lesley's blog to hear the sweet story of how she and her mother brought this recipe to be. The only tweak I made was to increase the amount of coconut - I love coconut. Coconut and chocolate together? - love it even more.

So, don't feel like making a big ol' German Chocolate Cake? Give these little German Chocolate Chip cookies a try!

My mom used to make these when we were younger, so when the siblings got together recently, we couldn't NOT make these... My mom used a different recipe and we didn't have it on hand, So I went searching and found this one... I've made it once with walnuts and once with pecans, and both times they've turned out AMAZING!! This recipe is great!!

I love your comments. I read and appreciate each and every one. Thank you so much for visiting The Kitchen is My Playground! {NOTE: Captcha word verification is on to turn away the 'spambots' ... I apologize for the commenting inconvenience.}
